Action 2: Time-sensitive: Oppose unconstitutional involvement in voting by the U.S. Postal Service before July 2.
Time to complete: 15 minutes

The 30-day window to submit a comment closes July 2. The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a new rule that attempts to give the USPS unconstitutional oversight of elections in line with a recent unlawful presidential executive order already being challenged by voting rights advocates in at least four lawsuits. It would require each state to create a list of voters eligible to vote in federal elections and assign a unique ballot barcode to each voter. The USPS would then refuse to deliver ballots to anyone not on the list.
Send an email with a unique comment opposing this proposed new rule: PCFederalRegister@usps.gov, using the subject line “Ballot Mail.” Email comments must contain your name and physical address (you cannot comment anonymously).
Alternate: Send a letter with a unique comment opposing this proposed new rule:
Director, Product Classification
U.S. Postal Service
475 L’Enfant Plaza SW, Room 4446
Washington, DC 20260-5015
I sent off an email objecting to this proposed rule.
Will you consider doing the same or write a letter?

Done! Thanks for the info!
Done! Thank you for the heads up
Thank you for your quick action.
Thank you for tackling this!
...the USPS is on life support!
To follow Tom’s comment, most postal services around the world are on life support. Some countries have already abandoned postal service altogether.
That is wild to think about the post office managing voting lists instead of just focusing on getting the mail delivered. It definitely makes sense to speak up before that July deadline hits, especially with all the legal challenges already flying around it. Good on you for taking action and sending that email to get your voice on the record. I'm going to look into this a bit more myself—thanks for putting it on my radar and sharing the info.
